+#### Circular Buffer Mode
+Some boards may flicker while in the normal buffer mode. To fix this issue, circular buffer mode may be used to rectify the issue.
+
+By default, the circular buffer mode is disabled.
+
+To enable this alternative buffer mode, place this into your `config.h` file:
+```c
+#define WS2812_SPI_USE_CIRCULAR_BUFFER
+```
+
+#### Setting baudrate with divisor
+To adjust the baudrate at which the SPI peripheral is configured, users will need to derive the target baudrate from the clock tree provided by STM32CubeMX.
+
+Only divisors of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 are supported by hardware.

+Note that using a complementary timer output (TIMx_CHyN) is possible only for advanced-control timers (TIM1, TIM8, TIM20 on STM32), and the `STM32_PWM_USE_ADVANCED` option in mcuconf.h must be set to `TRUE`. Complementary outputs of general-purpose timers are not supported due to ChibiOS limitations.
